Cheer Quote by Gordon Korman

“I cheer when Barnstorm is introduced. I’ve never known anybody on a team before. He waves a crutch in our direction, and a few of the other kids clap too. Then Rahim falls asleep. His head slumps over and conks the girl sitting next to him. We get kicked out” quote by Gordon Korman
